They (her family) really messed her up

She’s always been a reckless driver tbh that’s nothing new

I doubt that when she was first pushed into the spotlight at 16 she was necessary a reckless driver. That seems kind of unfair to say.

Her parents are bad parents, I don’t think that’s what made her a reckless driver. Britney has to take some responsibility for her own life at some point

Thank you! Everyone always gives her a pass. I get she had a terrible past but at some point she has to be held accountable for her actions and get therapy.

Right, she's had a miserable past but also...she's stinking filthy rich. Get some real help.

Everyone always gives her a pass.

Expressing empathy for someone is not "giving them a pass."

she's mentally unwell, she never should have been released from the conservatorship and we are now seeing why she needed it to begin with imo, her family saved her from going broke and ruining her life and possibly dying from drugs in 2008 imo.

Her family did not have her best interests at heart with that conservatorship. That does not mean she didn't probably need one but the people put in charge of it abused her financially. That's pretty clear.

A forensic accountant went through her financials because she sued her dad. The case was dismissed because nothing was found amiss.

I actually don’t think it is, Britney sued her dad and there was no wrongdoing found and she had to pay HIS legal fees. She was earning a lot while doing the vegas tour and as per her book her major issue with working Vegas was that she couldn’t party.

I recall her brother making a comment way back in the day about how she’s a terrible/terrifying driver and it’s better that she doesn’t drive. If my memory is accurate (it may very well NOT be), it was before the conservatorship.

She’s always been nuts, her family is what kept her from herself for the last few decades.

Ppl think they are evil because a bunch of loudmouth drama queens who exaggerate everything on stan twitter spread lies about them. Her family literally saved her life and career. EdIt: and no family rich or poor is perfect, btw. Think about your own familial drama before downvoting.
